The study evaluated the accuracy for predicting pathologic complete response (pCR) after neo-adjuvant systemic therapy (NST) using ultrafast dynamic contrast-enhanced (UF-DCE) MRI. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis for the presence of residual lesion revealed higher diagnostic performance of UF-DCE MRI compared with conventional dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI overall and in the group of triple negative subtype. The deviation from pathology was smaller for UF-DCE MRI derived sizes compared to conventional DCE MRI overall and in luminal group. UF-DCE MRI potentially assesses the post-NAC status in breast cancer patients accurately in a shorter acquisition time.
